If only father were still around...

The bright sun rays in the early morning of summer streamed into Pei Ge's room through the window and woke her up. She had forgotten to pull the curtains together last night.

The warm sunlight bathed her fair skin in gold, making her look gentler and more radiant.

"Haaaa!" Yawning, she stretched her hand to shield her eyes from the bright rays of the sun.

Only when her eyes had adjusted to the brightness did she open them.

Her mood was lifted by the vibrant colors she saw outside her window, and she rose from her bed feeling rather rested.

Shua! She drew aside the day curtains to let the bright sunlight fully enter her room.

The warm sunlight fully shone on her face as she stretched her body.

"Ge Ge, why don't you sleep in?" Zhang Manhua, who was cleaning the house, suggested when she saw her daughter already up and about.

"Couldn't go back to sleep now that I've woken up."
